“Alabama football’s Kadyn Proctor breaks silence on ‘regret’ for leaving the Crimson Tide for Iowa.”
“I definitely regret it,” Proctor told 247 Sports. “This is certainly one of the worst choices I’ve ever made.
Because, looking back, there were so many people who cared about me here and were trying to convince me that this was the greatest place for me, and I wasn’t thinking it through.
Kadyn Proctor was an All-American offensive tackle for Alabama in his first year. However, his enormous accomplishment was insufficient to keep him in Tuscaloosa.
Proctor was up outside of Des Moines, Iowa, and when former head coach Nick Saban departed, the top offensive lineman chose to switch to the Iowa football school.
Alabama’s roster infusion did not improve matters, thus Proctor decided to continue his collegiate career elsewhere. Nonetheless, after careful consideration, Proctor concluded that Alabama was the ideal place for him. He thought he’d made a mistake and voiced sorrow for leaving.
“I definitely regret it,” Proctor told 247 Sports. “This is certainly one of the worst choices I’ve ever made.
Because, looking back, there were so many people who cared about me here and were trying to convince me that this was the greatest place for me, and I wasn’t thinking it through.
I let Coach [Kalen] DeBoer and the staff talk to me about staying, but I wasn’t really listening. I was so determined to return home that no one could convince me otherwise.”
“Even my parents told me that, but they said, ‘OK, you’ll find out for yourself.'” And this is exactly what occurred. I gave them credit. I responded, ‘You’re correct.
“There’s nothing else I can do but admit you’re right and I made a mistake,” Proctor said.
Kadyn Proctor finally returned to Alabama and informed his teammates that he was all in.
“I apologize for not hearing you all out,” Proctor said. “I’m ready to get back and do everything for this team.”
